Mindanao To Be Prioritize?

(Mount Apo in Mindanao)

Newly sworn Senator Aquilino Martin "Koko" Pimentel III promised to prioritize Mindanao during the remainder of his term.

I quote him: "I request for the understanding of the brothers and sisters in Visayas, Metro Manila, and Luzon, if I prioritize mindanao in my time and my resources under my office", Pimentel said several days ago at the Provincial Capitol Gym in Mati City, Davao Oriental.

The new senator chose the city because of the overwhelming number of votes he got there.

"Let us give Mindanao a chance!" Hopefully these are not empty words again by a politician. Pimentel stressed also that he has received a sworn affidavit from Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Governor Zaldy Ampatuan that he will use a basis in filing cases against those who comitted electoral fraud in Maguindanao.

Racial Prejudices?

In all parts of our globe we find ethical hierarchy. It's an indirect status with fixed judgements and points of view. Social distance and discrimination predominate and make it easier to use categories such as "race", "naiton" or "culture".Social indifferences have been built up.

We can find he refusal because of the different skin color or adopted biological differences. We see misinterpretation of poverty and backwardness. We say of every refugee, i.e., that he seeks asylum.

Most racial prejudices have its  roots from the heritage of colonial supremacy. Justification of slavery goes back to the 17th century. In early colonial history skin color was not the main reason, it was the paganism of original inhabitants in America, Africa and Australia. bringing Christianity started the forward roll.

Terms such as "Indian" and "Negro" an be found even in world's literature: the good-natured "Winnetou" (German Karl May, 1842-1912); "Friday" (Freitag), the noble savage in "Robinson Crusoe" (Daniel Defoe, England, 1660-1731); or "Uncle Tom" (Harriet Beecher-Stowe, USA, 1811-1896).

Political conflicts between "white colonial supremacies" and "colored subjects" have been explained and described as racial segregation - many times instigated by Christian missionaries. Innumerable examples in world history proves brutal force and power up to genocide.

Reacial prejudices?

"Love your enemy as yourself!" (Leviciticus 19:18). Am I am enemy as expatriate in the Philippines?

"When alien live besides you in yourland, do not mistreat him. The alien living living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself...." (Leviticus 19:33,34).

New SSS Guidelines Bared

Also being an SSS member in the Philippines I learned that SSS has cut down its interest rates and relaxed its lending requirements to enable more companies to avail themselves of its social and business loans. The agency revised its loan guidelines to give companies easier access to credit, boost employment and expand SSS membership.

The interest rate of loan granted will remain fixed for a period of one year. The loan will be subject to change based on the prevailing interest rate on its anniversary month to match market rates. ]

Under the new guidelines, employers can use the loan to acquire existing structures, expand and diversify business and fund projects in forest development and sustainable energy.

I learned from SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Emilio de Quiros, Jr., that in a span of over 23 years, SSS has released more than 23 billion Pesos to fund more then 5,000 projects that have generated more then 99,000 jobs, created more then 4,000 hospital beds and many things more.

Interested employers can contact the SSS Corporate Bonds and Loans Department at 02 - 920-6401 local 5113 and 5115 or send an email to urbanogm@sss.gov.ph.
